UFC 92 has more than its fair share of heavy-hitting heavyweight bouts tonight, including former stars, current stars, and those wishing to switch stations between the two.

Las Vegas will host a light heavyweight title bout, an interim heavyweight title bout (what, so they don't have to put the real belt on the 2008 budget?), and a light heavyweight bout that could have been a title bout if it wasn't for a vacancy in the mental department for one of the fighters.

Finally, the winners of the first two seasons of The Ultimate Fighter will pound on each other in the main event as Forrest Griffin and Rashad Evans meet for all the light heavyweight marbles. Griffin is much larger than Evans, but Evans knocked out Chuck Liddell. Anyone that declares with certainty that they know how this one's gonna end is trying to sell you something. Like this pay-per-view, let's say.

This is your place to get your DUAN on, as always. There won't be a liveblog of tonight's deliciously violent events, so we will recommend Cage Fighter's party, as usual. Discussions of attempts to get to second base with the secretarial pool should stay here, Draper.
